The American Supply Associationis a federation of several regional organizations that formed nearly 50 years ago. One of the association’s regions fell on hard times in 2003 and remained without local leadership until recently when a small group of leading distributors stepped up to work with the national association to rekindle regional representation. Today, Southwest Central Distributors (SWCD), an affiliation of distributors, manufacturers and manufacturers representatives throughout Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado and New Mexico, has now become an official regional affiliate of ASA.
